The Bartlett Group, known as Bartlett & Company Inc., was a founding member of the British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia (BABCPHL). As a third-generation, family-owned global insurance brokerage operating in over 40 countries, Bartlett’s strong ties to the US, UK, and international business make its membership with the BABCPHL a natural fit.

Now, with Owen Flansbury stepping into his role as US Director, Bartlett is reflecting on the value of affiliation with BABCPHL network. Owen acknowledges the company’s long-standing involvement, emphasizing that Bartlett’s relationship with BABCPHL began “long before [his] time.” This legacy includes strong leadership within the organization, as Rich Bartlett, President, previously served as Chair of the BABCPHL Young Professionals Group.

Owen is eager to deepen Bartlett’s engagement with BABCPHL, recognizing how the company’s international focus aligns seamlessly with the organization’s mission. He highlights the value of panel discussions and networking events centered around global trade and market trends, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to build meaningful business relationships in such a specialized setting.

According to Owen, Bartlett’s affiliation with BABCPHL has been instrumental in strengthening key industry connections within the insurance sector. He emphasizes that being part of a network that “fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing” enables industry leaders like Bartlett to navigate global markets more effectively while also fostering an engaging and dynamic business environment.

His advice to prospective members echoes the experiences of those who originally joined BABCPHL:

“Be proactive, attend events, and take advantage of the wealth of knowledge within the community.”

As Bartlett continues to expand its global reach, its partnership with BABCPHL remains a cornerstone of its transatlantic business strategy.

Beyond its core business, Bartlett takes great pride in its charitable efforts. Through the Bartlett Foundation, the company has made a lasting impact on communities in need. We are honored to count Bartlett among our esteemed founding members and proud to recognize their decades of dedication and philanthropy.
